after the next accident...

Manned space will likely be gutted from NASA.

That leaves pads 39 A & B with no futher use.

I think they should be made into nice permanent exhibits.

Return 39B to the appearance of the apollo era, and stack a full model
of a saturn 5 in launch configuration. Build large plexiglass bubble
over entire structure, and do the same for the other pad stacking a
left over tank, solids less ful and enterprise.

both vehicles can be left straing to go somewhere

Open both pads for tours, something thats never been available to the
general public. Turn the VAB into a museum too, and while there at it
build a memorial to Apoolo one at the pad and return the capsule to its
post fire condition and exhibit it in a small proper way.

this would help the local economy thru tourism,.

the government should offere big bucks for other private companies
space operations

that would make a nice exhibit, but let's hope it doesn't happen right
away.

You're a sick man, Bob...sick, sick, sick. You say this days before a
launch? Do you know that families of the astronauts might read this?

You couldn't care less about the crew and their families, Bob. You're a
drama queen, and you only care about the attention you draw to youself.
You are shameful.

I feel like I did BEFORE columbia

I certinally HOPE everything goes fine....

But really believe this is all schedule driven...

Water runs out of atlantis tank the one for the supposed rescue shuttle
and it wouldnt effect current launch

In the event a rescue shuttle is needed, just what tank will be used?
the one thats waterlogged?

I decided to stop by to see how things are here pre-launch, and this is
what I was met with--more screeching from Bbo Hlaler. I can't believe it
anyone still replies to him. I just can't.

I came to the conclusion long ago that it isn't he fears another
accident, but that he lives for the day there is an accident.

Hope the rest of you are well.

Godspeed, Discovery.

Well we have Griffin openly admitting.......

"You're not gonna like this, and I'm sure I'm not going to like how it
sounds in print, but we are playing the odds," NASA
Administrator Mike Griffin said. "

from florida today.......

with griffin playing the odds oys very possible we will have another
disaster.

at that point Griffin can watch as manned space gets gutted from the
agency he was supposed to care for.

Griffin is the first admin to over rule the experts and say

launch anyway lets play the odds..........

waste . . .

Why are the engineers the experts? They are not any more educated.
